High Kingdom of Itherae

The Trajkovski Accord was definitely a surprise to most officials in Itherae as none actually believed that the Cydernian Republic would actually seem out such a pact with Itherae. However, Cydernia would prove as a useful ally should the need arise given their location in the world being a valuable trade area. With Itheraen aid, this would give the government some control over that valued trade node and allow Itheraen dominance to extend past its own borders to a minor degree. Thus the government recalled the envoy, Herodes Pittheus, that had previously been sent out to negotiate a mere non-aggression pact with the Cydernian Republic to sign the agreement that was most in the Itherae’s favor.

With the Agreement finalized and signed the Itheraen government held high hopes for its diplomatic success in the future as to achieve her majesty’s goal prevent a war in the region. The Republic of Cydernia would be extremely useful as an aid in deterring powers from trying to distabilize the region, even if the Cydernian Military was a bit lackluster.

High Kingdom of Itherae

Diplomacy was a great tool for those who knew how to use it for the word was more powerful than many weapons that had been invented in these days, a fact Itherae was fully ready to utilize to advance itself as it sat between a great power, a large republic, and happened to sit just above the Commonwealth of Marn. It's placement in the world was to be surrounded by those who would wish to do it harm, and if any great war would to start, it would be started by some damned country near them. Thus, they needed to maintain a certain stability in the region so that war was no on their doorstep. It was for that reason and that reason alone that they sent envoy Herodes Pittheus to the nation of Cydernia in order to preserve the stability of the region with a Non-aggression pact.

The High Kingdom would love for themselves to not be dragged into some blasted thing, that was the only reason that they would extent their kindness beyond their borders. Plus the Queen did not precisely trust the other world's leaders to uphold the peace that the world was currently experiencing, especially no nation close to the Helrox Empire. Though it was amongst the greatest powers of the world with a presence in the seas close to Itherae and even the Kingdom's bordering nation the Tyrian Empire which would allow for a future of diplomacy between the two nations to halt Helrox expansion should that empire feel the need to go on the warpath again once more.

Other than the (somewhat) paranoid views of the government, the majority of Itheraens were indifferent with other nations, nor did many in the nation feel the need to expand the national borders, including the Queen herself. Of course there were those in the Tyrian and Sessauan communities that would like to see themselves in the their respective borders that was considered an extremely low minority for those people in those already minority groups.

In other areas of the Kingdom, the group hoped to establish trade with nations nearby, despite their autarky views. With eyes set to Yognir to the north, the Itheraen Kingdom may be able to lessen their shortage by a considerable margin when the trade between themselves and the Faresian Confederation eventually began.

High Kingdom of Itherae

The High Kingdom of Itherae, within the bounds of its power, seeks to expand coal production and increase national production so that the nation no longer uses more of the invaluable resource that it uses. That is where the government has stepped in. The Supra Dobranie, the legislative branch of the government with 105 seats filled with politicians voted in from around the country, has worked in tangent with her majesty, Queen Athena, to approve of the expansion of Coal mines all throughout the countryside more as a long term solution to the problem they immediately faced. Though the problem they faced was time as they would not be able to rely upon this method in order to turn the deficit for what may be many months or even years for the Kingdom. While imports were considered, many nationalist elements within the Supra Dobranie criticized the idea that if they could not rely upon themselves for the basic production of a resource that they might as well not be an independent nation.

While seemingly extreme, these politicians swayed the view of the idea very steadily until they had the majority or others simply lost the will to object to the view any longer. However, this did not solve the problem that the nation faced. That is where politician Proetus Meles, a fifty-nine year old hailing from the Kingdom's capital, Thermydon, drafted the Coal Rationing Act of 1905. The act stated that, "In order to preserve the nation's coal supply, until the deficit has been lifted or otherwise stated, a government mandated ration is to be placed for the usage and sale of coal..." Thus all coal is subject to governmental control for the time being, though none wish to see a likely fall in production from the nation's factories. This act would later be signed by Queen Athena herself and made the act officially passed.

While many do not wish to see coal limited, it is a reality they must accept, especially with the Queen's backing. Corporate heads especially dislike the rationing as they view it a threat to their production and profits, however there is little they can do against it as the Queen's signature has sealed the fate of the act. Luckily, the act would only be a temporary solution to the larger problem, hopefully allowing the nation to recover from the deficit in a timely manner.

Melting pot is a bit of an understatement me thinks.
